The "I'm Leaving Earth" Thread

Tina Fey said it. If Palin becomes VP she's "leaving earth". Why do celebrities (and not only celebrities, even some on here) threaten to "leave America", "go to Canada" or "leave earth" if the candidate they support does not win? Do they really think we care where they go? Do they think that is going to do anything?

It reminds me of a little kid who's got a basketball and threatens to go home with his ball if he loses a basketball game. IMHO it's really immature.

What's your opinion on the whole SUBJECT.... not just Tina Fey.... cause the truth is, I really like her, but I think she was immature with that particular statement.

    It's a childish reaction to not getting your way.

    it has been said by both sides.

    I really wouldn't make it an issue, I don't think they mean it.

    Yup. I'll continue to make fun of people who say shit like this. Vedder, Penn, Baldwin, and now Fey. Put up or shut up.

    I think it's more about expressing the idea of giving up on something very important to them, such as where they are in the world.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Tina Fey is a comedian so you can't take her seriously. Besides it will make her very rich if Palin becomes VP. She'll have a great job for the next 4 years.

    I wouldn't move if McCain won...but I'd think about leaving the country if we have to use the 25th amendment. I don't see a Palin presidency as anything but a disaster.

    Does this mean she's planning on committing suicide?
    Seems a bit harsh...
